    Massive rally in the works....
     
  3. I know doesn't look like its gonna work, oh well,
    hindsight should have taken profit when shorterm trend ended.

    USDJPY is still in a downtrend technically

    But I think that the good news will reverse the trend slowly as the trading session rolls on.........
     
  5. I'm out with a small profit and you were right it looked like it might flip over but never did and looks stronger than ever.

  9. Right, 'cause when it doesn't work the first time, it's gotta work the second!
     
  10. Good statement, not sure where your coming from though.

    The shortterm trend is up and longterm down, there are opportunities for contertrend shortterm trades and I decided to take it. Not being bull headed or stubborn just didn't see a bullish setup I could take.

    Seems to be working but the question is will I manage the trade better than I did on the previous one.

    I discussed that prior trade on this thread
